    Which LED bulbs to replace 40W E14 fitting?

    Hi all, Please can someone spec me some reasonably priced LED bulb replacements with good light output? I'm a bit unsure when it comes to buying LED replacements, which ones are good and which ones will provide a good output. I'm after something maybe available in cool white and warm...

    Anyone with ideas on how to open this shower mixer?

    Thanks ;) Found out that the thermostatic cartridges have seals around them, one of which has possibly failed. And a video on how to change the seals and the cartridge itself so will look into that

    Anyone with ideas on how to open this shower mixer?

    Hi all, Does anybody know how you would open the below? Today it has started to leak reasonably seriously, but it seems to be intermittent, a mixture of fiddling with it, turning it on and off (from here and the mains) seems to get it to stop and start again, not entirely sure where the water...

    Kitchen Plinth Lighting ... Replacing bulbs ... Is it safe?

    Thanks for the detailed reply If you do 250mA divided by 10 (as it is suitable to run 10 lights) that's 25mA per light (unlikely, but worse case scenario like you said) So as I have 8 original lights = 200mA Plus one x 83mA for the LED bulb I've added in place of the 9th light ... Takes...

    Kitchen Plinth Lighting ... Replacing bulbs ... Is it safe?

    Thanks for confirming Should be fine then as this kit is suitable to run 10 plinth lights ... And I only have 9 plugged in The original lights have 3 LEDs and this bulb I've bought has 5 but that shouldn't make that much difference as they hardly use any power anyway, right?

    Kitchen Plinth Lighting ... Replacing bulbs ... Is it safe?

    Hi, Here's a pic of the adapter http://i.imgur.com/e058nc7.jpeg I did test the LED car bulb today quickly and it worked without dimming any of the other lights... Just wanted to make sure here it was safe to use for a long period of time (I've temporarily disconnected it) So...

    Kitchen Plinth Lighting ... Replacing bulbs ... Is it safe?

    Hi, I have some kitchen plinth lighting that I installed about 3 years ago The lights are round sealed units, drill a hole in the plinth, push them through and connect them up to the junction box supplied (they just plug in) ... I'm sure you know the ones? Anyway each light has 3 LEDs...

    Dimmable LED GU10 Downlights?

    Thanks for all the replies and the couple of recommendations I am not 100% sure if this is what I want at the moment so I will post back here once I've decided if I want downlights or a standard light then come for more advice.. Just thinking it is going to be a lot of work removing all the...

    Dimmable LED GU10 Downlights?

    I wasn't sure how good they would be either but we replaced the kitchen ones and like I said the light output is the same if not slightly better and they give out a nice whiter light too ... And the energy savings so it made sense to get them

    Dimmable LED GU10 Downlights?

    Hi, I was thinking about fitting some downlights in my room as I currently only have one standard bulb Recently we changed the kitchen ones to LED GU10s from halogen ones and they are equally as bright so I thought I would fit them in my room too I was wondering though, would anyone be...

    12V Outdoor Downlights - Any recommendations?

    Hmmm, thanks for the options but I think I will stick with a standard timer I will bear this in mind, the house is 7 years old, or do you mean much older than that?

    12V Outdoor Downlights - Any recommendations?

    Hmmm, I have never actually looked into the difference between the beam angle of GU10/MR16 bulbs and LED style ones, I just always thought that LEDs were more directional than the others I will have to do some research into the beam angles available Any links to the lights you mean, like...

    12V Outdoor Downlights - Any recommendations?

    Aha I did read read that and I know LEDs hardly use any power but but like I said would LEDs not be too directional and just shine at the ground rather than shine onto the garage doors and the ground? What do you think?
